The 2017 calendar year has come to a close, and before we get too deep into 2018, now seems like a good time to look back on the 2017 box office and analyze the year’s big winners and losers. As always there’s a bit of disparity between the domestic chart and the worldwide chart, but there are also some films that were bona fide successes regardless, carried by either huge domestic, international, or a combo of the two.
It’s also important to keep in mind a couple of these films are still in release and will continue climbing. That’s certainly true ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi, which has secured the top spot domestically and could overtakeThe Fate of the Furiousand/orBeauty and the Beastto top the worldwide chart. It’s a little too early to tell for sure, but it’s definitely possible—the film has already overtakenRogue OneandThe Dark Knightto become the #6 domestic release of all time. AndJumanji: Welcome to the Jungleseems destined to at least overtakeDunkirkon the domestic chart.
